How we measure

What the channel says it made, versus what the market says happened

Channels advertise their wins. We measure every signal they post, winners and losers, using the channel’s own rules.

  1. 1

    We read everything they post, including what changes

    We read the channel’s full history with read-only access: every signal, every “TP1 hit,” every edit and every message that disappears. A signal deleted after it lost still counts.

  2. 2

    We replay every signal against the market

    Using real tick-by-tick prices, we check whether the order would have filled at the posted price, and what got hit first: the stop or the target. We use the stop loss and targets the channel itself posted, and its own trade management (for example, moving the stop to breakeven once the first target is hit).

  3. 3

    We count in R, not pips

    1R is what you lose if the posted stop gets hit. That way a channel with tight stops and one with wide stops are compared in the same unit: what you risk per trade.

  4. 4

    We tell you how much could be luck

    We resample a channel’s trades 2,000 times to see the range its total lands in 95% of the time. If that range crosses zero, the data can’t tell a good channel from a lucky one.

What each verdict means

Proven profitable
The entire interval sits above zero, with at least 30 trades, no signals deleted while we were watching, and no clear decline in its latest trades.
Under review
It would earn the badge, but it deleted signals while we were tracking it, or its latest trades are clearly underperforming.
Proven losing
The entire interval sits below zero: anyone who followed it over that period lost money.
No verdict yet
The interval crosses zero. We show how many more trades it would take if performance held steady.
Live tracking
Public channels we measure live from the moment each signal is posted. We don’t show their numbers until there’s a verdict.

What we look for beyond the result

  • Disputed trades: the channel announced a target hit, but the stop it posted itself was hit first.
  • Red flags: patterns like putting a number on wins but never on losses, posting a signal after price has already moved, or deleting and editing after the fact.
  • Edits and deletions: when we track a channel live, we know what changed and when, and we show it.

What we don’t claim

These are past results, not a promise. Prices vary by data provider, and every report says which feed it was measured with. We don’t tell anyone to follow or unfollow a channel, and we are not a registered investment adviser or commodity trading advisor: nothing here is investment advice. If you spot an error in a report, the channel owner can claim it and reply, and the reply is published next to our measurement.

Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Since the trades have not been executed, the results may have under- or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.
